Abstract:The rapid growth of electric vehicles (EVs) is creating a strong need for reliable and accessible charging infrastructure. This study focuses on analysing and forecasting the demand for EV charging stations in Anantapur. The objective of this project is to understand charging usage patterns and estimate future charging demand based on available EV population and charging activity data. The study uses secondary data such as the number of EV charging sessions, approximate EV population, location details, and time-based charging patterns. Basic data analysis techniques such as trend analysis, graphical visualization, and regression analysis are applied to identify relationships between EV growth and charging demand. This visualization is used to clearly represent demand trends and usage behaviour. The results indicate a steady increase in EV charging demand as the number of electric vehicles grows. The analysis also suggests that charging demand is closely linked to EV population growth. The result for this forecasting shows that existing charging infrastructure may face higher demand in the future, especially in high-usage areas. This project concludes that proper planning and expansion of charging stations will be necessary to support the increasing number of EVs. The findings of this project can help in understanding future charging requirements and assist in developing efficient EV charging infrastructure in Anantapur
